Hello,
First post here. I’m hoping you all can help me out with some oxidation questions.
I have a 1980 Grady White. It is a white boat with a brown/tan section around the boat.
This is gel coat not a decal. I can see oxidation, but it doesn’t wipe off on fingers.
I’ve been toying with the idea of purchasing a pc-7424xp,yellow, orange, and white pads.M105 and M205.
Well, before dropping a few hundred I wanted to try to determine if I would get good results in getting rid of the oxidation. I picked a spot to do some wet sanding. I started at 1500 no improvement, so Iworked my way down to 600 only to have my test spot look good wet but cloud back over when dry. I realize no polishing so no shine, my test was to see if the oxidation would go. It appears to have not, leaving me reluctant to throw hundreds in the wind.
Here is a spot wet sanded by hand with 600

I really thought the wet sanding would get rid of this,,
